People have been left shocked and disappointed by Oranga Tamaraki's data issues around children's healthcare. 

An Independent Children’s Monitor report has revealed gaps in information about whether children in state care are receiving medical and dental checkups.  

Whanau Ora Commissioning Chair, Merepeka Raukawa-Tait, told Tim Dower that these standards of care have been required since 2019. 

She's surprised to hear it hasn't happened, particularly as child in care's health outcomes are poorer.
